It's professional looking at least and it ties us to the city but interestingly doesn't show the MCG Yeah I have to admit that escaped me but you're right. For me it's one of those things that's been a "must have" in any previous MFC add. Could've had one of the projections onto the MCC stand or something. I liked the ad, nothing too crazy and gets to the point: we're the club of the city.
Return to Glory 8,518 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 I always envisaged a commercial where Nathan Jones carjacks a family in a Range Rover headed to Falls Creek (returning them to the G') and Brayshaw lays a flying tackle on a young snow boarder about to commence a Buller black run.

Thanks for adding a sensible dose of absurdity RTG. I was just about to post a question about the purpose of these adds versus the cost. What does the club expect to gain from them? I'm presuming most/all of the above posters are members - do we expect to gain new members? These adds would cost a squillion - does the money come entirely from the club? Is there a proven or measurable benefit?

I like the idea of our players dressed as street thugs going on a violent rampage through Fed Square. Then they team up with other gangs and form a supergang like the riffs. Then they have to make it to Jolimont without being killed. Can you dig it???

Moonshadow 17,678 Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 Sounds too much like a Michael Jackson video to me. Beat It or Thriller. I do not want to see Bitters break out into dance, thank you very much.

I guess it's ok but I'm with BBO in terms of not being sure who it is designed to attract beyond Biffen's suggestion of Apex debutees. The voice over sounds like the bloke from Simon Reynold's Grim Reaper aides ad from a long time ago.
Guest Posted March 19, 2016 Posted March 19, 2016 When compared to previous years ads, it's Oscar material.

But when and where does the ad get a run during the season with the average punter? In past years I have seen a number of clubs produce video promotions but where do they run after that? What is the point of this?
